Abstract: We review the applications of geometric
algebra geometric algebra in electromagnetism, gravitation and multiparticle
quantum systems. We discuss a gauge theory formulation of gravity
and its implementation in geometric algebra, and apply this to the
fermion bound state problem in a black hole background. We show
that a discrete energy spectrum arises in an analogous way to the
hydrogen atom. A geometric algebra approach to multiparticle quantum
systems is given in terms of the multiparticle spacetime algebra.
This is applied to quantum information processing, multiparticle
wave equations and to conformal geometry. The application to conformal
geometry highlight some surprising links between relativistic quantum
theory, twistor theory and de Sitter spaces.
